Ingredients

  • 2 cups (480 ml) brewed chai tea
  • 2 cups (480 ml) Almond Milk
  • ½ cup (40 g) rolled oats
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • 4 (60 g) medjool dates, pitted
  • 2 ½ cups (330 g) frozen banana

Directions

  1. Place all ingredients into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid.
  2. Run the Smoothie Program or start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed. Blend for 40 – 50 seconds, using the tamper to push ingredients toward the blades.

Chef's Notes

  • To make a frozen drink, add 2 cups of ice to the blend, or use frozen bananas.
  • Traditional chai beverages are often laden with added sugar.  This twist gets all of its sweetness naturally from dates and banana which also happen to be nutrient dense and are excellent sources of fiber, along with the rolled oats.
